Short Stuff

“I usually compare the novel to a mammal, be it wild as a tiger or tame as a cow; the short story to a bird or a fish; the micro story to an insect (iridescent in the best cases).” Luisa Valenzuela

Short Stuff is about keeping it short and sweet. Students will develop their understanding of short narratives and be challenged to see just how short they can make a short story. Over a short term they will be writing scifaikus, flash fiction, micro fiction and twitterature that will be compiled as a small anthology of short writing.
